Love the car and write up. I too bought the non z51 with the chrome wheels and the guys have beat my car up for having the chrome wheels. Classy beautiful car! Congratulations!

Thanks! And shame on them for beating your car up for having chrome wheels. It's YOUR car, not theirs! Enjoy your new ride!

Great looking car! I see that car's from Heritage! I don't know if you have an Instagram account, but to add to your car's "photogenic-ness", 3-4 corvette specific pages on Instagram have shared my pic of your car when it was still at Heritage and they all have over 500 likes.

Congrats on the purchase, I took the half hour drive twice to go look at your car. It's so good looking. Puts my C4 to shame!

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing! (And I'm so glad that awful looking front license plate holder is no longer on the car...haha!)

I'm glad you're enjoying it. You have a really beautiful car, and sorry for the drool marks. I literally had to drag my friend back into my car because we ended up staying for about an hour staring at the car.

And the Cars and Coffee of Richmond is meeting this Saturday morning on Broad St. Come out if you'd like, there's a couple guys that just bought C7's and they should be there. I'd love to see it again!

Thanks! And no worries...the drool marks polished off nicely...

As for Saturday, I'll have to pass. The car and myself are 1400 miles away in SW Oklahoma!

Excellent pics of the interior - the displays in this car just rock and the steering wheel is just cool with the night lighting. Also love that exterior color. on the new purchase.

I will be driving mines from dallas to little rock arkansas tomorrow and will test the mpg myself. most of the highway is flat and in texas the speed limit is 75, which is about 165 miles. then in arkansas it is 70 for about 140 miles.

Beautiful cars, I was going to ask about the Nomad but I see someone beat me to it. I had a 55 post I drove in High school, miss that thing.

Thank you! It's so fun to drive! And I'm "fixing" the dash treatment with Adam's leather conditioner. The dealer did a sloppy job, but I had no say in it since it was done before I bought it and it wasn't a car I pre-ordered.

The Nomad belongs to a good friend..and it is a beast! You should hear it roar!

Really great looking car, I'm sure you're plenty proud of her. Nice photos too. Let us know how the rest of the trip goes and some photos of her with scenery in the background. And you can tell your friend his garage is VERY intimidating . I'm getting mine fixed up for LoLa but it's not as big as his so what I can do is limited.

Drive safe

Thanks! I actually arrived in Oklahoma late Monday night (somewhere around 4 a.m.). Of course, I had to wash her before putting her to bed for the night. She has about 1800 miles on her now. Broke in good! And yes, his garage is awesome! I'm planning on building a 40x60 or 50x50 next spring. I need a toy box for my toys! And I love LoLa...very nice!!!

She was born on September 24, 2013, and I picked her up 2 years ago today on October 11, 2013! What an incredible two years!
